In his second season, the linebacker expects to make even more plays in new coordinator Gregg Williams' aggressive, attacking-style defense.

"This is something we're all looking forward to,'' he said earlier this week, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We've got a lot of athleticism and speed on our team and with (Williams) being so aggressive and with our depth allowing us to keep bringing fresh players into the game, I think we're going to be able to put a lot of pressure on the other team's quarterback.''

The 22-year-old, however, got lost too many times in coverage and struggled at times shedding blocks.

Ogletree believes that with a year under his belt, those lapses are in the past and he will be even more disruptive under Williams.

"It's like night and day,'' he said. "When I first started last year, I was kind of nervous, trying to learn the position and to learn what I needed to do on the play. This year, I feel a lot more comfortable. I just feel like I'm able to go out there and just play and have fun.''

Williams stearing a dangerous defense headlined by a dominant line starring Robert Quinn, Chris Long and rookie Aaron Donald is a wild card in the stacked NFC West. If Ogletree makes the leap in Year 2, the unit could rival the other preeminent defenses in the division.
